A Missouri political commercial showing the candidate firing rounds from a military rifle is staying on the air.

KMBC 9 News reported on the ad by Republican gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens last week. It drew criticism on Twitter Sunday after the Orlando nightclub massacre.

“I’m Eric Greitens. If you’re ready for a conservative outsider, I’m ready to fire away,” he said in the ad, before opening fire on a target that explodes.

His campaign said Greitens used an M-4 rifle in the commercial, the same type he used on active duty as a Navy SEAL. It is not the same kind of weapon that was used in Orlando.

On Sunday, Greitens issued a statement condemning that attack.

“We must act immediately and swiftly to keep the country safe,” Greitens said.Campaign manager Austin Chambers said Monday that the Greitens ad with the gun will remain on the air, in rotation with two other campaign commercials.

“This election is not about the type of gun Eric used,” Chambers said in a statement. “This election is about what kind of country we are going to live in and if it will be safe from radical terrorists.”

Another Republican candidate for governor, John Brunner, said in a tweet that someone with a concealed weapon could have stopped the Orlando attacker. Florida was one of the first states to permit civilians to carry concealed guns.
